Had an amazing meal here that combined old fashioned cooking with modern flair. Pork cheeks for an appetizer, spare ribs with a side of cornbread for the main course and churros for dessert. Delicious

Fish and chips were terrific as was the carnitas naan bread tacos. The cheese bread puffs were a nice way to start of the meal too. Server was attentive and the chef came out to visit.

We were met by Mary Ingalls when arriving :) Great place with a special atmosphere. Beds are not big but the rooms are charming. Very good restaurant and bar. A big yes from Denmark.

In the heart of the Old Town San Diego State Historic Park, a few miles from the modern centre, the Cosmo’s 10 antique-filled rooms sit in a grand 1827 building. Read more

Stepping back in time dining & sleeping experience. Rumored to be haunted, so an overnight stay might not be for the faint hearted. 🙀

Take your time to enjoy your meal and the live piano music. The gentleman at the keys "wants to light up your heart like the sun lights up the day. " :-)

Excellent food. Lunch special $10 for a salad+ sandwich or dessert. Try their pulled pork sandwich or Ahi tuna cups.

Very cool historic site, the Mexican guitar player out front is fun to talk with. The desk in the bar room once belonged to Mark Twain!

If you don't scare easily you can actually stay at the 10-room bed and breakfast Cosmopolitan Hotel. Can't handle the whole night? Tempt the spirits during drinks or dinner instead. Read more

Stop by Racine and Laramie then head to the Cosmo. By the time your night is over, you WILL want that cigar.
